    Thanks for the link, although when I tried to join they were asking questions about which organisation I worked for. I noticed this at the top of the page.

    The Choice Forum is a free internet mailing list bringing together people working with people with learning disabilities.

    I was expecting to see a forum for people who have or live with people with learning difficulties?

    Hi there, just put parent/carer. Cannot remember what I put as I joined the forum about six years ago and the format was different then.
    And yes the forum is for parents and those who live with people with learning disabilities, it is also for professionals too. It is always up to date with the latest government policies (which apply to people with learning disabilities)
  • Hi
    I have filled out the form so just waiting to hear back from them .

    Good luck,
    I certainly found this site extreemly useful and still do, there are posts which relate to housing, direct payments, education, bank accounts for people with disabilities, current government legislation, disability discrimination etc,
